there were two people protecting the ambassador. they were navy seals but they were in the country for a different reason. i think it is appropriate the people associated with this resign and even, you know, in the report they claim -- they put some of the blame on the ambassador for not asking enough. but we know he did ask clearly for more protection and expressed a lot of concerns about what was going on on the ground. in terms of hillary clinton, you know, it's perfectly plausible this did not reach her level. she is the secretary of state. i don't know this kind of request would make it all the way up to her. but she should still testify and give her perspective on that. megyn: she can say that, it was boswell and lamb if that's how it was. megyn: no american official was found guilty of neglect or dereliction of duty. how can you get to no one is guilty of any neglect in this situation? >> it's incredible. it doesn't single out a single person for blame here and it doesn't identify any disciplinary action to be taken either. if everybody is responsible as this report seems to
